Book excerpt: "Army Life in a Black Regiment" is the Civil War memoir of written by Thomas Wentworth Higginson, an abolitionist who was commissioned as a colonel to head the first regiment of emancipated slaves in 1862. Higgonson book is a stirring history of the first regiment of emancipated slaves formed to fight in the Civil War. It is also about Black soldiers in a white war, white officers in a Black regiment, self-discovery, rivers, and hope. Much of the imagery and characterization in the movie GLORY seems to have been adapted from "Army Life in a Black Regiment," which is a first-hand narrative of war by an idealist sorely tested by politics and physical hardship. Higginson's writing of the book is in part his attempt to deal with what today we would call Post-Traumatic-Stress Disorder, and it is no wonder that the tone sometimes reminds the reader of Hemingway's "Big Two-Hearted River." An interesting read for Civil War buffs and those interested in the role of black soldiers during Civil War days.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Army Life in a Black Regiment These pages record some of the adventures of the First South Carolina Volunteers, - the first slave regiment mustered into the service of the United States during the late civil war. It was, indeed, the first colored regiment of any kind so mustered, except a portion of the troops raised by Major-General Butler at New Orleans. These scarcely belonged to the same class, however, being recruited from the free colored, population of that city, a comparatively self-reliant and educated race. "The darkest of them," said General Butler, "were about the complexion of the late Mr. Webster." The First South Carolina, on the other hand, contained scarcely a freeman, had not one mulatto in ten, and a far smaller proportion who could read or write when enlisted. The only contemporary regiment of a similar character was the "First Kansas Colored," which began recruiting a little earlier, though it was not mustered in - the usual basis of military seniority - till later. These were the only colored regiments recruited during the year 1862. The Second South Carolina and the Fifty-Fourth Massachusetts followed early in 1863.
